Hi, I'm looking for a software that can do quotas for the net traffice of each computer. It can either be
A) Install individually on each machine and be configured independently or
B) Server / Client software, where the server software controls which clients gets full access, partial access, quotas (for a certain: day, week, month, time frame from time A to time B).
At our company we have people who spends numerous amount of time surfing the web rather than doing work. We keep telling them to stop surfing the web so much and do more of their work. I need something that DOESN'T require them to log into a domain. Our computers/server aren't fast enough to login to a domain that quickly. Plus we don't want a domain because we want the employees to be able to login to the local machine and bam...instant access to all of their work. Workgroup access is fine with us. Like I said, something very simple. So far my other alternative is Microsoft ISA, I don't want to install that because that means I would have to sacrifice a computer to install it, and we're very limited on production computers. I do not fully know all of ISA functions.
Would ISA be able to do traffic quota base on computer IP/MAC address rather than by user group and domain?
So basically I am looking for something that does OPTION B but in the simplest form as possible because we have a small network and decently ok computers. Yea we have a small business, so very limited budget. I hope I made sense. Please any info would help immensely, thank you.
